I try and get what I can off with a shake into the toilet and what I can't, I dunk. Not with my whole hand, mind you, just the layer that's dirty. I've been known to try to do it via the shower head, but that just saturates the diaper without getting much off. Really could use a diaper sprayer!!!

YAY for giveaways! You're awesome THANK YOU!!!We use our hand held shower head for the moment here. It actually reaches our toilet. It's a pain and I desperately need a diaper sprayer, but for the time being, it works. 🙂

I have been using cloth diapers for about 2 1/2 months. My daughter is 15 weeks old, but I was way overwhelmed with everything at first and did not venture with the cloth right away. Now I feel like I have a good handle on things and I love the diapers! With the next baby I will definitely order some XS and cloth diaper the whole way!

I am expecting my first child and although, I myself, have never used cloth diapers, I've been inspired by a mom of twins. I'm hoping to use cloth diapers with all my future children from birth to potty training.

Haven't figured that one out yet. I have a 2 year old that has very mushy poop and it doesn't just shake off. I have done the old school method of dunking in the toilet but I'm not lovin' that, I would love to win this giveaway!

I currently use a little bit of toilet paper to clean the mess out of the diaper. It's nice and easy if everything is pretty solid, but it's definitely unpleasant if the diaper is extra messy. I could really use a diaper sprayer for the extra messy diapers.

I use disposable liners, sometimes even select-a-size paper towels. But it doesn't always hold it all on the inner leg or up the back. I just wipe-wipe the diaper mess with TP and flush or other cloth and dispose of it if out.

My husband made me a diaper sprayer out of a kitchen faucet sprayer and I love it! I used to princess dunk (grab a corner and try not to touch anything) but after 5 kids I don't really care what gets on my hands. Poo's probably not the worst thing that's been on there. My friend just went back to cloth and wants one so bad so if I win this I'm passing it on to her so she can have the spray love too!

i heart the diaper sprayer! it is the best. my son is older, so his BMs are a little more regular, but if we are out and about or i know one is coming, i will sometimes use a flushable liner, just because i sometimes feel lazy! they work great now that he's older. with breastmilk poos…not so much. 😉 if i win this diaper sprayer, i plan on giving it to a new momma friend who i convinced to use cloth…..and i gave her two beautiful FuzziBunz but no sprayer! i think EVERY CD mom needs a sprayer!!

We have been using cloth diapers since my son was 4 months old, so 17 months now! wow! we started with gDiapers but they just did not work for us. i was still having the leaking and blowout issues that i had with sposies. so i went to bumGenius and have not had one single blowout since! only leaks are due to operator error. 😉

I have been pretty lucky so far, as our messes have been small….however DS is getting bigger and soon we'll be starting solids. I am currently tossing dipes right into a cold soak in the washer to keep the wet. I spray the worst ones with some extra water….

right now, since baby is still EBF I just throw in the pail to be washed. I wash every other day and since he rarely poops it's not a big problem … yet. I know it will only get more difficult, and would love to win a sprayer. 🙂

I guess my technique falls under other as I try to get any and all poo into the toilet then move to the laundry room sink and under running water clean my dipes with a toothbrush, old of course. As you can see I need a sprayer.

Don't have to deal with messy diapers currently but I am trying to get a stash of cloth diapers and accessories going so that when we finally do take the plunge we won't have to shell out as much money!

Right now I don't have a sprayer… But I also exclusively breastfeed. I don't worry about the messy diapers too much because of the BFing. Typically i might rinse them off first, but ill put them in first before I wash them for 2 or 3 soaks just to make sure. I know I'll probably need a sprayer or something if when the baby starts eating something other than breastmilk

with my 2 yr old, his "mess" falls right off… but my 3month old's messy diapers get a quick soak before washing, or if we have some flushable liners on hand we use those….BF poopies are not so bad, but when he gets onto solids, i hope to have a sprayer….or else yuck!

Right now, I rinse the diapers in the toilet and I hate it. It's what I remember my mom doing 19 years ago with my baby brother. I've really wanted a diaper sprayer, but didn't want to put out the money for some reason.

I have used cloth diapers now for about 10-12 months off and on. I'd like to be consistent in using them, but started with GroBaby when they first came out and was pretty unhappy with them. I was more happy with the prefold diapers, pins, and plastic covers. I just assumed all cloth diapers weren't as great as I was expecting. Then I was encouraged to try bumgenius one size and love them. Now I'm getting back into them.

I have a breastfed newborn, so I don't even rinse her diapers. I'm looking at switching my 2yr old to cloth if she's not potty trained by the time this box of diapers runs out. I could definitely use a sprayer for her dirty dipes!

I was just telling my husband about diaper sprayers yesterday. He is ok with cloth but dealing with a messy one really turns him off. I don't want hime to give up. Right now we shake/dunk in the toilet.

For dirty diapers I dunk them in the toilet to get off as much poo as I can then throw them in the pail with the rest to be washed! A sprayer would definitely come in handy! 🙂 sobyn at hotmail dot come

I have been using cloth diapers since Jan. DD was born in September but I got very ill and since I hadn't used them before I was afraid to start before I felt well…now I will use them for any future children!! sobyn at hotmail dot com

I use the liners when I think she is going to poop, but inevitably I forget to line the diaper or it squishes outside the liner, so I have to dunk and swish it around in the toilet. Yuck. I would LOVE a sprayer!

I started using cloth diapers when my daughter was 6 months old (I learned about them through a friend, I had not thought of them before that!). My daughter is now 20 months old, so we've been CDing now for 14 months!

I am definitely a sprayer convert. I used the liners with DS #1 and thru yr 1 of DS #2 before purchasing a sprayer. I love it and now that I use pocket diapers more than prefolds, the sprayer definitely helps keep stains more at bay.

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to deal with messy diapers. I tried the flushable liners, but they always seemed to bunch up and then not be there for the "mess" anyways, so we have stopped using them. Somtimes, if I am lucky, I can just shake the mess off the diaper and not worry, but if that doesn't work, I have a pair of rubber dishwashing gloves that I keep in the bathroom and I have to do the dunk and swish in the toilet. We have a detachable shower head that I tried using to spray the diapers, but that made me feel like I was messing our bathtub up too much…kind of gross! I would love to try a diaper sprayer to spray into the toilet!

We've been using gDiapers with the flushable inserts, so messes aren't too much of an issue, yet. We are planning to switch to cloth inserts with our next baby, coming in September. We will need one of these!

We've been using cloth diapers for about 2 months now. It's more work, but I feel so great about what I am doing for my son and our planet. If I could turn back the clock I'd have used cloth with my 3.5 year old. 🙂

My current solution is a spatula. Yuck and gross. Flushable liners didn't work for us too well. They ended up in a wedgie, and I had to peel them out along with some mess attached, and still had to scrape the diaper. What was the point of that? Maybe I didn't give them a fair chance, but after doing that twice, I put them at the back of the changing table and forgot about them.

I have been using cloth diapers on my two boys for about a year now…3y/o about to train, 18 month old, and #5 to arrive in Sept. (Gotta get the toddler toilet trained before then) 🙂Wish I'd started with older ones…but I didn't know about the numerous options available today. I remembered the prefolds soaking in the toilet at my house when my little sister was a baby, and didn't want any part of it!

A diaper sprayer would be great! I am building our newborn cloth diaper set right now and we are registered at Kelly's Closet. I did not add the diaper sprayer since I figured we would try the flushable liners. But the diaper sprayer sounds like a much better way to go!

I just bought a diaper sprayer from Kelly's closet and it is awesome. I used to swish swish, but no more. I can't believe it took me this long to get one. Definitely worth it! I also line my hemp diapers with micro fleece.

I used to use a utility sink to deal with messy dipes, but we moved and don't have one any more, so I was (I'm embarrassed to say) rinsing them in the bathroom sink then sanitizing it afterward – such a pain! Thankfully my DD has been eating more solids and the poo plunks right in the toilet now, but I'm expecting a new baby in Aug and will need a diaper sprayer for sure!

I dunk and swish and flush and dunk and swirl and flush again then sigh. Peanut butter poop is no fun…it doesn't roll off fleece liners, and my flushable liners either bunch up or don't cover the whole mess.

I cloth diapered my daughter for 2 years until she started potty training. I'm due for baby #2 in a few weeks!~ And will cloth diaper them as long as they need it. I never had a sprayer and just used a scraper… I'd LOVE a sprayer this time!

I have only been cloth diapering about 2 weeks but I am desperate for a sprayer! Currently I scoop off the poop into the toilet with a bit of TP and then use a squirt bottle (which is NOT working) to try to get the rest in! We just spent a pretty penny on all BG diapers (which was already out of what we should have spent but we justified that in less than 9 months we would spend that on disposables and cloth won't be so much in the landfills!)and cannot afford an extra $45 for a sprayer though!

We use flushable liners. They have been great but a little extra hassle. If they are not dirty (ie just wet) I just throw them in the wash with the dipe. I am usually able to use them at least once more!
